Jan. 15, 2021—To meet consumer demand, Volvo says it will triple production at its Ghent, Belgium plant. 

The plant was the production site of Volvo's first battery electric vehicle, the XC40, and plug-in hybrid versions, reports Wards Auto.

In 2020, the Belgium plant produced 194,890 vehicles. Now, the factory will take on a second BEV model, planned to go into production later this year.
